A Cross Platform Inherit Function

This (apparently non working) gist gave me the hint. Stuff I've been dealing with for a while , finally used to bring an Object.create(firstArgOnly) cross platform/engine/client/server code that works. The name? inherit() More Reliable Than Object.create() The reason I didn't even try to polyfill the ES5 Object.create() method is quite easy: it is not possible to shim it in a cross platform way due second argument which requires descriptors features, highly improbable to simulate properly. Even if browsers support the create() method, inherit() guarantee that no second argument will ever be used so we are safe from inconsistencies within the function. Forget hasOwnProperty ! Yeah, one of the coolest things about being able to inherit from null is the fact not even Object.prototype is inherited so we can create real empty objects without worrying about surrounding environment, 3rd parts obtrusive libraries, and the boring and slow obj.hasOwnProperty(key) check. // so
